Roger SterlingPlayed by John Slattery

Roger dealt with his diminished position in the agency by counseling Lane on a failed attempt to land Jaguar. He experienced an LSD trip with a group of intellectuals, which culminated in achieving clarity about his marriage to Jane. They divorced, but Roger found himself unable to give Jane her freedom without spoiling it by seducing her in the new apartment she was awarded in the settlement. He seduced Megan’s mother, Marie Calvet, at an American Cancer Society benefit honoring Don for the Lucky Strike anti-tobacco letter. Roger ended the season wanting to expand the affair with Marie, but when she refused, dropped acid alone and naked in a hotel room.
